Our voting system is broken, but it doesn't have to stay that way.

Elected officials shouldn't just represent their base. They should represent the whole electorate.

Unfortunately, in most systems the only voters with any leverage are the ones who voted for the winner. Voters who prefer others have no power.

STAR Voting changes that.

How you might ask? 🧵 1/3

Each election we watch the rise and fall of 3rd parties seeking to offer viable alternatives to the duopoly. Every cycle they fail to break through. Two party domination isn't caused by a lack of viable 3rd parties or candidates. It's caused by our outdated voting method. 1/6 🧵

Ranked Choice Voting has polarized the voting reform movement for years and it's not over. As another wave of repeal and ban bills gear up, let's look back on the concerns raised that led RCV to be rejected in every state where it was on the ballot in 2024. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a6b...

Politics doesn't have to be so polarizing. We can do better!

With STAR Voting voters can vote their conscience, scoring their candidates from 0-5 stars. The two highest scoring candidates are finalists and the finalist preferred by more voters wins. youtu.be/fKg0fRL88zc

There’s no sound democracy without a sound voting method, and our current choose-one plurality voting is not it. Consider following or donating to @starvoting.bsky.social or @equalvote.bsky.social to support voting reform across the country! 💫🗳️
It's giving season and our team is drafting our holiday wish list: 1) stable funding, 2) the chance to scale up our staff, 3) launching new programs!

We're currently fundraising for our 2025 General Operations Budget. Can you help us get there?

For the last 10 years, Equal Vote has fought to unify the voting reform landscape and pioneer better options -- often with little to no funding. We'll continue to punch above our weight class, but we can't do it without your help. Please donate! equal.vote/donate

Solidarity between advocates for different voting reforms is essential and in order to get reform passed we need to listen to the science and work together.

At the Equal Vote Symposium's fifth and final panel we tackled just that. youtu.be/ZZXfOmUNDeM

RCV advocates. Please read this incredibly courageous post and call to action.
I'm Exec Dir of RCV Montana. Five years ago, I started pursuing RCV in Montana w/ a desire to give voters more choice, empower third parties & independents, & reduce the mudslinging.

I'm abandoning the RCV movement, still dedicated to reform. Cordially, I invite you to join me

For years the election science community and the reform advocacy community have been siloed from each other, often working at cross purposes.

Are closed party primaries essential or should they be opened to all? Should they be skipped all together or does it depend?

In the Equal Vote Symposium's second panel of the event we tackled just that.
